In this final chapter I discuss key competing accounts of constitutional instability. While I acknowledge their strengths, I argue that the psychic factor put forward in this book complements these mainstream narratives. My aim here is to conduct a comparative analysis of the cases discussed in the previous two chapters to better grasp the role played by the psychic factor at play in the frequent replacement of Ecuador’s constitution. Crucially, however, I also foreground how this factor intersects with elements emphasized in other accounts of constitutional instability. To do so, important theoretical and empirical elements addressed in Chap. 3 and 4 are rearticulated here. I thus argue that a psychoanalytically informed approach to constitutional instability in Ecuador can be strengthened when the psychic factor is articulated with, rather than ignoring or marginalizing, economic, political, and institutional considerations, since these rarely appear without some form of psychic inflection.
